I appreciate you checking it out for me.
Thanks, John

I think theyre in my steering wheel swap thread.

Hey not a problem at all. Id go with the first one ($65). It looks like the factory Ford ones and the 2nd silver one doesnt look like it has buttons that are raised. I feel like I would def want one with individual buttons and one that you can clearly see the buttons. My own opinion. Good luck with the decision!

Not sure if this is along the lines of what you are looking for but I saw this a while back and thought it was pretty cool.

Bought the one that looks like a Ford remote. I'll give an update when it arrives. Hope I'm not wasting 70 bucks.

They work in the ignition and yea you need 2 keys to program the new one your self. If you only have one you have to goto a dealer or locksmith. Super easy if you have 2 keys. Put in first key, turn it but don't start, remove. Put in second key turn it but don't start. Remove it. Insert new key ( already cut an has a chip) turn it don't start and remove it. Your done.
